Isidias Navigatim is an annual Egyptian ceremony – held to gain the blessings of Goddess Isis upon the ships and boats , so that people may sail forth, engage in commerce & trades, and bring Wealth & riches back to their homes! We adapt that Ceremony, honour Isis and seek her blessings for our own abundance, business & wealth creating ventures.

Note: We meet at a Cafe in `Riverside Terrace, Richmond, but ritual takes place outdoors closer to the riverbank and water.

This is our very own 14th annual Isidias Navigatum ceremony (that we began in 2013). No prior knowledge is required. We facilitate this ceremony, with explanations and guidance. However please attend with an open mind.

Isis Boat Ritual & magic for Wealth & Abundance.

Our event begins with a large model boat acting as an altar. We set it up on the grassy area near river bank, with Isis statue, and other magical items.

Altat set up with Isis boat & Isis statue.
Isis praised – Sacred space set up.
Winds in 7 directions called using Egyptian words (air, fir, water, Earth, above, below, and within).
Blue Egg of Spring blessed, wishes imbued, and burried in soil.
Magical visualisation of our own `Isis Boat’ being launched.
Wishes and statue placed on Isis boat, carefully tied, blessed, then taken to the river and `lauched’ (with rope attached).
People may make their own model boats, paper boats and send them on the river.
main Isis Boat is pulled carefully back to shore, and brought up. Spellcraft items returned to each person.

Do bring your prayers and worships for Goddess Isis, as well as your small charms and talismans to place safely in the ritual boat for ceremony. You can then take back the items, before we `sail’ the boat on the actual river.

Items placed in the boat for actual floating is at your own risk, as sometimes the boat may rock and items may fall off into the river! (Once the whole boat capsised with Isis statue was tied up so we managed to rescue Isis!).

About Paganism :
Pagans believe in the power of nature, and see the Devine as both male & female- as having many God & Goddess forms. Modern pagan practitioners use belief systems, images and symbols from ancient paths (Celtic, Egyptian, Druids, Witches, Mayans, Native Amerindians, Aborigini, Hindu,Norse and so on). Powers of elements — air, fire, water, earth, nature spirits, angels, dragons, fairies, spirit animals, ceremonial magic and more are all integrated in modern rituals.
